I ran home from school franticly. When I got into the house, I dropped my stuff on the floor and ran for the phone. "No messages" Blaine called from the basement. "UGHHH!" I yelled still checking incase Blaine was lying. "Calm down sis, you'll get the call" Ben said. I gave him a look and he said, "Blaine and I are going out. Don't burn the house down." My brothers left and I began pacing.
What if they don't call? Why would they call? Was I really that bad? Am I not good enough? Was my hair messed up?
"JEN!" I was pulled out of my thoughts by Meghan. "Are you thinking about the call again?" she asked. "Maybe…" my answer fading. "Jen! Stop dwelling! When they call, they'll call. Stop working yourself up over it" Meghan said. I smiled at her and we began our math. But, I couldn't help but wonder. Will the odds be in my favor?

Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Tap-tap. Ugh! Math is super boring! After about 10 minutes of Mr. Anthony blabbing on about the equation of a line, I zoned out. Now, im taping my pen and practicing my signatures. Jennifer Lawrence. Jen Lawrence. Ms. Lawrence. "Ms. Lawrence?" Mr. Anthony said, snapping me out of my daydream. "Yes, sir?" "You were called to the Guidance Office. Bring your stuff" he said. I looked a Meghan with a questioning look and she shrugged her shoulders. What did I do?
I grabbed my stuff and walked down the halls to the Guidance Office. "Yes. Uh huh. Yah. Oh, here she is" the guidance counselor said handing me the phone. "Hello?" "Jennifer? Hi, this is Nina Jacobson. I'm calling about your audition for 'The Hunger Games'" she said. "I'm calling to tell you that it would be an honor if you'd be a part of the cast of 'The Hunger Games' as Katniss Everdeen."
I stood there in shock for 30 seconds. "Are you serious?" I asked. "Indeed I am. So, are you in?" she asked. "Of course!" "Great! Be in North Carolina by next week, say the 23rd?" she said. "Oh my gosh! This is really happening! Um, I mean, of course. Thank you so much!" I said. "No Jennifer, thank you!" Nina said and hung up. "You're excused for the rest of the day Jennifer." The guidance counselor said. I smiled at her and said thank you.
On my way home, I couldn't stop smiling. People looked at me funny, but I didn't care. When I got home, Blaine and Ben were in the kitchen making lunch. "Jen, what are you doing home?" Blaine asked. "I GOT THE PART!" I yelled. He smiled and hugged me. "Mmmm. That smells good" my mom said as she walked in. "Jennifer Paige! What are you doing; cutting class!" she yelled. I just smiled and stared at her. "Well?" "She got the park" Blaine said. My mom smiled and congratulated me.
I spent the rest of the day with my brothers and parents. Around 6:30, Meghan came running through the door from volleyball. "JENNIFER! What happened during math?" I brought her into my room and explained. "Nina Jacobson, the producer of 'The Hunger Games' called. I GOT THE PART!" I told her. She squealed and we hugged. "When are you leaving for California?" she asked. "North Carolina, and next week" I told her.
That's when it hit me. I really got the part. I'm really going to star in a movie. Soon, I'll be saying good-by to Kentucky.
I guess the odds were indeed in my favor.
